The 49ers on Sunday pulled out their best win of the season to move to 11-2 and regain their spot atop the NFC. The wild, back-and-forth contest had its share of good and bad showings from the winning side. While the generally stout defense faltered, the up-and-down offense had a game full of ups to help guide San Francisco to a win.

Here is some of the good and some of the bad from the 49ers’ electric victory:

Good: QB Jimmy Garoppolo

Garoppolo is building a fine resumé as an NFL starter, but Sunday was his best performance yet. He completed 26 of 35 throws for 349 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. That was good for a 131.7 quarterback rating. Garoppolo went blow-for-blow with Drew Brees in the Superdome, and helped orchestrate a comeback from a 13-point first-half deficit. The 49ers needed their franchise signal caller’s best, and he gave it to them.
